The dhobi wallahs

Mumbai (Bombay),
India


The Dhobi Ghat is Mumbai's laundry and the world's largest outdoor laundry. The washers, Dhobis, work in the open to wash the clothes and linnen from Mumbai's hotels, hospitals and to a lesser extent private washing. Here, rows and rows of concrete wash pens, each fitted with its own flogging stone. Washing lines hang above the dhobi village.
